These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Christine "Chris" Coleman-Sandwell. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Chris is an excellent therapist. She helps me be thoughtful in considering what my goals are in therapy. She is regularly connecting outside of video visits and this helps keep on doing beneficial work. She is a fantastic therapist.

I was a little hesitant about starting therapy but I feel like she understands where I’m coming from and it doesn’t feel like she’s telling me what to do but more of holding up a mirror for me of helping guide me to reveal what I need or want.

She gave me a new way to look at things and it made me realize I’m being pretty hard on myself. She is easy to talk and nice.
